263031 - Keyboard shortcuts seem to have changed recently e.g. CTRL-U seems to invoke page source

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 260188

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

[Aaron Sloman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10

I have been using the keyboard shortcuts in mozilla and in firefox for a long
time. Suddenly, without any apparent reason, they have changed, and I can't find
any place to fix them. E.g. when typing in urls or filling in forms, I used to
be able to use CTRL-U to delete to beginning of line. That now instead opens a
new window showing the source for the current page, which I rarely need (and is
available via right mouse button). CTRL-K used to delete to end of line, but now
seems to 'tab' to next field.

I presume there is some way I can change accelerators since the need for such
flexibility in interfaces has been known for many years, but have found no
information on how to change them. 


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. click on text in URL panel or form field
2. type CTRL-U

Actual Results:  
Source for current page pops up.

Expected Results:  
Delete to beginning of line.

Similarly CTRL-K moves mouse cursor to next field, instead of deleting to end of
line.

An ideal solution would be to extend 'preferences' to allow a list of keyboard
short-cuts to be edited.
